Their work looks great.

Greetings. I'll be going to Namibia in June 2025 and I'm looking for a taxidermist with experience with African game. I live near Louisville, KY but I'm willing to drive a couple of hours if need be. I'm not originally from this area so I don't have any local connections. Any recommendations...

I hunted with several guys for many years that all carried 7400s or 742s and I didn't see "frequent" failures or "jams" and I still haven't won the lottery.

I received my 7400 Carbine in 30-06 as a gift in 1990. It was the only rifle I hunted with for over 30 years. I carried it between 20-30 days every deer season in the northeast. It has seen a lot of rainy, snowy days and probably didn't always get taken care of the way it should have been. It...

What broad head were you using?

I've killed a lot of whitetail deer in eastern woodlands and I'd guess about 50% drop at the shot and the other 50% run off and die. But, I usually don't see them after they run and I find them after a very short tracking job. I've noticed that in a lot of the African hunting videos, I've...

My PH suggested June for Kudu...so that's when I'm going

My daughter has a half-ton Tundra and the ride is very stiff and harsh so I'd hate to see what the 3/4 ton rides like. I have a 2017 Ram Longhorn Laramie 1500 and it rides like a dream, has plenty of towing power and mileage is usually about 20 mpg. It's the only vehicle that I've ever purchased...

I booked my first African hunt, a ten day plains game hunt with Namibia Safari Corporation for June 2025. It was great to meet Jaco and his family. I wanted to just hang out and talk hunting all day, but I could see he is a busy man. It was nice to see others that have hunted with him stop by...

Ok I’ll still take it. Just need to figure out the logistics.

I'll take it if you're going to be in Nashville Feb 1 or 2.

I'll take the 375 if you're going to be in Nashville on Feb 1 or 2.

I'll be at the convention Thursday and Friday, but unfortunately I have to head back home in the afternoon on Friday. I'm sorry I won't get to meet up with ya'll.

Welcome

That's a brute of a buck! What state are you hunting? @ Fryeguy

Buyer beware. Just because the label says Made in USA doesn't make it so....I've see containers full of goods all marked Made in USA coming directly from China.

both out of stock

Welcome to the forum. I'm also living in Louisville. I'd love to hear your recommendations on any local whitetail hunting. I've been doing some scouting but haven't seen much too promising. Take care

If that be the case I'll take corelokts. I love them. They always seem to shoot well out of every gun I own and have always performed well for me. It's just that i keep hearing others comment how they can't understand why people settle on "cheap" ammo for the trip of a lifetime, so I didn't want...

Thanks this is very helpful. I’ve been really stressing about finding the right bullet for Africa The Barnes Vor TX is about the only factory loads I can find for my 375 H&H. I’m planning a 2024 trip to Namibia and I’m looking forward to carrying the 375.

Great looking buck!

I shot this buck on public land in Ohio during bow season. Never scouted the area, just went on a whim and setup on a rub-line. I thought the triple bro tine was pretty cool.

I'll take them

Which one that I suggested are you referring?

I don't want to make a decision based on price alone but it is a factor and what I was asking is why such a big discrepancy? That's almost twice as much for the same animal in the same region.

Yeah you're doing your best to talk me out of going at all

Hi Kevin P Thanks for the friendly response. Something you said touched on exactly what I was getting at ...So many of these outfitters advertise so many different species to hunt that I realized that they all can't be native to every part of Africa. Am I not right? I'd prefer to hunt in an area...

Ugh...It figures that would be the first response. I didn't say only. I honestly don't have a clue and this is exactly what I am doing "my homework". The only information I have really is this forum and it has been pointed out on numerous occasions by numerous members that it is one thing that...

I'm leaning towards Namibia over South Africa basically because it just sounds like it suits my style of hunting a little better. South Africa seems to have a lot more fenced areas and they seem more like game farms. I'm sure the critters are very wild and spooky (it's just their nature) but...

The Wildebeest wouldn't be a deal breaker...I guess I just assumed they were plentiful. They seem lower on the list as far as trophy prices.

Thanks for that reply. What I am learning is that there are almost too many options. Logistics - I'm hoping that the outfitter can take care of most things other than me getting there (my commercial airfare)...CITES, taxidermy arrangements, etc.. I'm retiring this year and will hunt Africa...

After reading this thread I think I'm more confused than ever about what and where I'd like to hunt in Africa.

-22 last night..truck battery dead

I ended up going a different route. I got this Sako .375 H&H. Thanks for all the input.

Is the 20 inch barrel a concern? I just noticed that.

He says it's been fired twice.

Can anyone tell me what is meant by "target" barrel in this rifle? I don't see any reference to it on the Mauser website.

Any comments on this one? Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate the opinions.

The seller states that it was just re-bored and only test fired

What issues mounting a scope to this set-up?

How does this look? Anything I should be aware of? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/966385393 Great Post war Browning FN Deluxe Sporter "1948" mode. Rebored to 9.3x62 MAuser, cut rifled 24" barrel with 1 in 12" twist. Pachmeyer pad and has 13 1/3 LOP. Original Armstrong peep and front bead...

Beautiful Elk

Thanks...I'm looking it over.

Thanks I hadn't thought about that. I actually own a couple 30-06s, one Rem 700. I'm not familiar with the process. Is it as simple as sending it to be re-barreled? What's a fair estimate for the re-barrel?

https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/guns-warehouse.com#:~:text=Guns%20Warehouse%20is%20a%20scam%20if Yeah...Looks like the consensus is that these guys are scamming.

Yes that's what I was thinking, that custom work was at least the price of the listing.

Wow never looked here. Is anyone familiar with them? They only accept crypto or Zelle??

Actually, I guess I could go this route, but I know very little about Sauer. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/960071853
